Wonder where they got that idea. Priorities.

Hat tip. Link back. Trackback. These are internet terms, as well as courtesies. Another way to put it might be: attribution. Sourcing. Or how about “credit where due”? I’m a blogger. Many of you are bloggers too, and you know the same thing I do. When you repost something from another site, you attribute it. This is true of almost anything you do online. On | Read More »

Andrea Billups has the top story today at Human Events: As the Obama administration battles a host of issues, with the sluggish economy, ongoing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and now an environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, some wonder if Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel – the recognized “bad cop” of their political coupling — is becoming an albatross around the President’ s | Read More »

Update: The video, which showed a counter-protester attacking a tea partier and his wife, has been removed from YouTube. Wonder who complained. And on what grounds. Via Ed Morrissey, and to expand on Brian Simpson’s remarks: . Those darn teapartiers sure are scary and violent. Yet another example of the media double standards on violence at protests.

Rowan Scarborough has the top story today at Human Events: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in her push for higher taxes around the world, asserted facts about Brazil’s economy that are contradicted by her own department’s official profile of the South American country. Clinton has taken on an odd diplomatic priority by urging the U.S., and other countries, to raise taxes. She said during a | Read More »

Audrey Hudson has the top story today at Human Events: President Barack Obama says it’s his responsibility to make sure the massive oil spill creeping across the Gulf of Mexico is plugged and the shoreline and pelicans coated in the black goo are scrubbed clean, but a premature criminal investigation by his attorney general threatens to interfere with the cleanup.

Thomas: Remember, these people are occupied, and it’s their | Read More »

Via Gizmodo: . (Click thumbnail for full view.) Dude. What a hell-hole! Apparently Jim Joyce* REALLY should have called Donald “out”. Incidentally I hear Joyce recently endorsed Guatemala as the most “Gates of Hell-free nation on Earth.” When asked what he thought about the hole, he replied “looks safe to me.” I’m just kidding around. In all seriousness, BP could not be reached for comment. | Read More »

Via Ed Morrissey: I got a kick out of President Obama saying that even when the cameras go away we’ll still be there for you. That ain’t the way this is going to play out. If anything, the cameras being here have compelled outside interests – government, BP – to kick this into another gear. With all due respect, the President might have had his | Read More »

Hans von Spakovsky & Cully Stimson have the top story at Human Events this morning: Federal statutes seem to contradict a memorandum from the White House counsel released on Friday that claimed that no law was violated when Rep.
